At Chatsworth High School and Community College, we believe that effective phonics teaching and learning is essential for achieving high attainment in reading and writing. Additionally, children’s confidence with phonics is integral to the curriculum and is used in all subjects. Achievement in this area benefits every area of pupils’ development and the school as a whole.  

Our Phonics Policy, a copy of which is below, is aimed at reinforcing a consistent, high quality approach to the teaching of phonics across the whole school for the pupils whom it is appropriate.
